[ in the background, there's the sounds of nature. rustling leaves, rushing water, chirping birds... and then there's a quiet chuckle from the owner of the journal. ]

This is quite the place. I've seen a lot in my time, but nothing like this. And that guide is handy! [ there's another small laugh ] Very thorough in its explaining this place. My thanks to its maintainer.

[ shanks pauses and there's the sounds of splashing. he's kicking his feet in the river. ]

If this place gets new arrivals in cycles, I imagine you get a number of these "I'm new here," journal entries. Aaah, well, that won't do. Let's spice things up and give you something more interesting than that!

Stop me if you've heard this one before... A Marine officer falls overboard during a battle with some pirates. He's a Devil Fruit user, so he can't swim and has to be rescued by a deckhand. When he's back aboard his ship, he thanks the deckhand and asks how he can best repay his underling for saving his life. The deckhand looks sheepish as he replies. "I think the best reward would be keeping it a secret, sir," he says, "If the other fellows knew I pulled you out, they might push me in!" Dahahahaha!

Yeah, they're like w--uuuuh...hold on. [Throwing up a quick filter because Norma knows how moody her housemates can be if their culture and secrets are broadcast to everyone ever.] There, okay.

Directly translated from the language they stem from, teriques means "wings of the beginning", but what they really are are like...hm. Kinda like a person--a Ferines' - a person of the water from where I'm from - soul. It's a manifestation of their soul into solid form, usually taking the form of wings of some sort. Or creatures that have wings. They can be really big or kinda small sometimes, and they can even attack for their master and sustain flight.

According to what I read way back when, I think once a Ferines is able to project their teriques, they've like...uh...become an adult or something? I can't really remember it all.

That's just how my world is, though I'm not sure if Fifi will be able to really do all that. She's only half Ferines - her dad was an Orerines, a person of the land, like I am.

...You're gonna come across a lot of weird people and places from here on, Scruffy.

Well, if that's the case, once you drop by the bar sometime when I'm on duty I can tell you a whole bunch of stories about what my friends and I did back home. And you do the same, okay? You're a pirate, right? [From what she could remember, he was. Odd, how Norma knows so many of those.] You've gotta have some sea-tales or whatever to tell.

Oh, uh...if we're not too busy, of course.
